Re: First Conatct????
At this point, I'd say "unconfirmed" rather than "hoax". I am an astronomy buff and it is usually very easy for these astronomers to determine if a signal originated from Earth.

Re: First Conatct????
True. I think it is more likely than not, just what they think it is, a side effect of something else.  However, we should keep our fingers crossed just in case.

Or maybe not even "unconfirmed". Try "Over-enthusiastic journalism".

Re: First Conatct????
Well even if it is alien in origin just think how long it's taken to get here. I doubt any aliens who sent it exist anymore

Re: First Conatct????
A SETI researcher is now denying {link} that they have a signal.

Re: First Conatct????
Looks to me like they're denying this awfully hard...
Hmm...
If we did recieve a signal from an Alien Race, do you think they (World Governments, Research Institutes) would gleefully announce that we've found evidence of life beyond Earth? Nope, they'd deny it until the Aliens started competing on American Idol. The ramifications of discovering intelligent life beyond Earth is far more terrifing to some people (especially fanatic religious folk) than a nuclear war.

Re: First Conatct????
The proof of alien life would unravel a lot of the stories in the Bible or Koran (or what ever) And I think that scares 'them' (fanatic religious folk) a lot.
But offcourse only my point of view (don't wanna insult any religion at all !!!!!)

Then again so would entertaining the possibility it was an alien signal. We're so used to Governments denying this stuff if they didn't wouldn't you think something's off?
As for discovering intelligent life beyond earth i have little hope of that considering Intelligent Life here On Earth!
Anyway we all know Earths Default First Contact Protocal 
1. Nuke 'Em
2. If Nukes fail then try and communicate
Shoot First and Ask Questions Later

Yes they would depending on Opinion, some would say God created the universe, some would say god just created earth...Considering how quick some religions are to brand others as Heretics and Infidels what makes you think Aliens would be any better off
